Our invention further consists in a mech anism for supporting and causing the movearticles, the same comprising a suitableframe, a vibratory diaphragm and means for agitating the diaphragm.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein our invention is fully illustrated, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating our invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the mechanism on which the articles figures may be arranged to be supported and to move; Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View of said mechanism; and, Fig. 4 is'a view illustrating one of the figures, the same being partly broken away to show the bristles.

Referring, first, to Fig. 4:, which illustrates, by way of example, one of the figures which may be used, the same being marked a, within the fi in their lower portions, projecting slightly l below the skirt (1 of the figure, which is that I of a Woman.
